Hello All:

I'm planning on doing some brake work on the urq (replacing the master
cylinder, as it drags the brakes when hot), but I can't find ANY bleeders on
the rear calipers...???


To indentify the calipers:

The calipers are NOT the 4kq style.

The calipers have a 'banjo bolt' adapter on the caliper end of the flex line,
that connects the line to the caliper.

The car has two separate parking brake cables, and the last 6" or so at the
caliper end of the cables is rigid pipe, with kind of a 's' curve in them, to
move the cables lower down. THat's kind of weird in itself..


Is it possible that you are supposed to bleed them at the fitting onto the
caliper, or am I missing something? (Like two broken off and well hidden
bleed screws? :-)

Any thoughts, as I'm puzzled..!
